Welsh leaning names in the US

We’re both keen to have a Welsh adjacent name for a baby boy to honour our heritage but we live in the US and a lot of names won’t cut it here with the spelling and pronunciation 😂 why are girls names so much easier?!
We like the name Griffith (Griff for short) wondering if anyone has any other suggestions. I love Taron and Tudor but those have been veto’d.
Thank you!

Gruffydd was going to be my choice if I was having a little boy 🥰 Here's a few: Bryn, Glyn, Macsen (Macs for short- pronounced Max). Totally agree Welsh boy names are not as lovely as girls 😅 I like Taron too - if you spell it Taran it means thunder 🌩

Llewelyn, Aled, Dewi, Lloyd, Tomos, Carwyn, Elwyn, Wyn, Dai

Alun, Anwyn, Gruffydd, Rhys, Osian, Cai, Dafydd, Dewi, Owain, Rhodri, Siôn, Steffan, Tomos, Wyn, Emyr, Elis, Gethin, Geriant, Iwan, Llywelyn

I’m loving Vaughn, Elwyn and Edwyn at the moment. Bowen, Dewey, Samlet and Rhydian are also lovely. 💙

There's a little boy and his dad is Welsh and mom from USA and his name is Finn

i love the name Griff! either as a nickname for Griffin or Griffith, both of which derive from the Welsh name Gruffydd.💙

Pregnancy after c section

I need advice I had a c section and my baby now is 7 months. We definitely want a second one, just not sure when it is safe to plan the second one. I would like a natural birth because we want more than two.
And I know for sure if the second one would be a c section then that's it, no more

Partner spending birthday with friends

Instead of with me and our 1 year old, is this weird ?

Suitable for a wedding?

I’ve ordered this dress for a wedding. Is it ok as it has some white on?

Is morning sickness worst with boys or girls ?

When I had my daughter in 2022 I thought my life was coming to an end cause of morning sickness. I couldn’t even get out of bed let alone sit up straight.

Idk what I’m having as of yet but the morning sickness is not as bad as it was with my daughter but it’s still whooping me on some days

Braxton Hicks

Does anyone else get fairly frequent braxton hicks. I’ve been getting them so much today and it’s starting to get really annoying/uncomfortable.

It’s definitely not contractions and I’ve been checked out at the hospital. Just wondered how often other people were getting them?

Is this dress yes or a no?

We are going to Japan for 3 weeks in July and 13 of those days we are on a cruise. There is a bunch of formal nights and formal events and for some of them I’m doing a 80’s glam theme. I already got the dresses for those but I’m looking for some fun and fancy dresses that aren’t vintage also. I’ve been eyeing this particular dress for MONTHS. I kind of love it, but I think it might also be too weird 😆. What do you think?
